Description:
Whale oil trade period 1800's (keep those lanterns lit)..... Don't miss this One of a kind North Price reduced to $345.00...Coast Whaling artifact....Very interesting Fetish acquired from the Haida peoples in 1906. Signed and dated pouch when acquired. see pics. I believe the name can be read. There are 4 carved bone buttons, 2 trade beads, a cloth tobacco pouch with writing, a soft leather pouch, and a small whales tooth and a metal fetish. This may be something acquired by the tribe in trade or from a battle. I pulled there history up on Google. The Haida people date back 14000 years and were a Viking like people that were found in Canada, and British Columbia and coastal islands off the North Coast.. This all Probably was strung on sinew at sometime as a necklace. I believe this sperm whale Fetish was taken or bartered from an early sailor from a whaling vessel. Lots of info on this interesting culture on Google. email any questions and Good Luck. Soft cloth pouch reads: Haida NW Coast Whaling Fetish collected 1906 B. S. Rimker with his original tags. This is a truly unique documented artifact. Check my other s for some amazing Inuit Native Ivory carvings.
